2Chronicles:24:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days ,
and he died ;
he was one hundred and thirty years old when he died .
*
And they buried him in the City of David among the kings ,
because he had done good in Israel ,
both toward God and His house .
*
Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king .
And the king listened to them .
*
Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers ,
and served wooden images and idols ;
and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass .
*
Yet He sent prophets to them ,
to bring them back to the LORD ;
and they testified against them ,
but they would not listen .
*
Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest ,
who stood above the people ,
and said to them , "
Thus says God : "
Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD ,
so that you cannot prosper ?
Because you have forsaken the LORD ,
He also has forsaken you ."'
*
So they conspired against him ,
and at the command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD .
*
Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him ,
but killed his son ;
and as he died ,
he said , "
The LORD look on it ,
and repay !"
